Course overview

AI tools are already influencing patient care: flagging risks, reading scans, drafting notes, prioritising resources. But while adoption accelerates, the governance, regulatory, and risk frameworks around healthcare AI are still catching up. So, who approves an AI tool for clinical use? Who is liable when it fails? How do you ensure compliance with evolving regulations?

‘AI in Healthcare: Governance, Risk & Strategic Adoption’ is a one-day course designed for professionals in healthcare governance, compliance, legal, regulatory, risk management, and senior leadership roles. No technical background required.

The course builds a practical understanding of AI before diving into what matters most for oversight roles: the regulatory landscape, algorithmic bias and health equity, liability and accountability, institutional governance structures, due diligence, and strategic adoption planning.

The day begins with core AI concepts, demystifying terms like machine learning, natural language processing, and large language models in plain, clinically relevant language. From there, participants explore real-world applications across the care continuum: AI-driven risk stratification and screening in preventive medicine, diagnostic support in radiology and pathology, clinical decision support at the bedside, and intelligent workflow tools that reduce administrative burden.

A dedicated session addresses the critical issues of bias, equity, data privacy, and the ethical responsibilities that come with algorithmic medicine. Participants will engage in exercises evaluating AI tools, interpreting model outputs, and identifying when to trust and, importantly, when to question algorithmic recommendations.

The course closes with a forward-looking discussion on emerging trends, regulatory frameworks, and strategies for integrating AI responsibly within healthcare systems.

This course is part of our Regulatory Affairs Training course collection, which features updates on the latest regulations to registration procedures and strategies.

Benefits of attending

This course will cover:

Welcome & foundations of AI

Objective: Build a shared vocabulary and conceptual foundation.

  • What is Artificial Intelligence? Defining AI, machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI
  • Key terminology made clinical: algorithms, training data, models, neural networks, natural language processing, large language models
  • A brief history: from rule-based expert systems to modern deep learning
  • How AI ‘learns’ - supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning explained through medical examples (e.g., training a model to detect diabetic retinopathy)
  • Common myths vs. reality: what AI can and cannot do today
  • Interactive element: Quick poll/quiz - ‘Is this AI?’ (participants classify real health system scenarios)

AI in prevention & early detection

Objective: Understand how AI supports upstream, preventive care.

  • Population health analytics: identifying high-risk patients before they deteriorate
  • AI-powered screening tools: AI for breast cancer detection, retinal scans for diabetic complications, skin lesion analysis
  • Predictive models for hospital readmission, sepsis risk, and cardiovascular events
  • Genomics and precision prevention: AI in interpreting genetic risk profiles
  • Wearables and remote monitoring: how continuous data streams feed AI models for early warnings
  • Discussion: What preventive AI tools are already in use?

AI in diagnosis & clinical decision support

Objective: Explore AI's role as a diagnostic partner at the point of care.

  • AI in medical imaging: radiology, pathology, dermatology, ophthalmology
  • Clinical decision support systems (CDSS): from drug interaction alerts to differential diagnosis assistants
  • AI as augmentation, not replacement for the physician
  • Understanding model performance: sensitivity, specificity, false positives/negatives: what you need to know to evaluate claims
  • Case study & Hands-on exercise: Participants review a simulated AI diagnostic output and discuss whether they would trust, modify, or override the recommendation

Algorithmic bias, health equity & ethical governance

Objective: Understand how AI can perpetuate or reduce health inequities, and the ethical obligations of oversight bodies.

  • How bias enters AI systems: data bias, label bias, selection bias, and feedback loops
  • Real-world examples of AI bias in healthcare
  • Health equity as a governance priority: why fairness is not optional
  • Ethical frameworks for healthcare AI
  • Transparency and explainability
  • Informed consent in the age of AI
  • Ethical obligations around generative AI: clinical documentation, patient communication, and misinformation risk
  • Scenario exercise: Participants review an AI tool's validation data and assess it for equity concerns

Institutional governance & oversight structure

Objective: Design effective governance frameworks for AI within healthcare organisations

  • Building an AI governance committee
  • The AI lifecycle from a governance perspective: procurement, validation, approval, deployment, monitoring, and decommissioning
  • Developing institutional AI policies: data governance, transparency requirements, and clinician override protocols
  • Ongoing monitoring: incident reporting
  • Staff training
  • Exercise: Each participant identifies three priorities for strengthening AI governance
